I cant see how this is possible. Wish I had $250 to risk.

"More than 10 available"? I agree that something can't be right with this listing.

So if my math is correct that would be, lets see, carry the one, devide by 2, um, subtract the heat of the meat, that equals $2.49 each coin.
My head hurts..

If it's covered by ebay's buyer protection plan and isn't what you ordered when you get it ... file a claim and get the money back.

It looks like more Chinese counterfeit, now coming from Ireland.

I think he means $250 per roll, which would be $25/coin.

250 per roll would be 12.50 per coin. There are 20 coins per roll of large dollars.

I agree that these are probably chinese rip offs.

That is, IF there is money to get back. The seller has a low feedback rating, and is over seas AND has an offer that sounds to good to be true?

I'd be staying well clear of this one.

I think the seller makes it very clear that you get 100 coins for $250.

AND free shipping from Ireland?

Stay away. Stay very far away.

This item should be reported to ebay. It's obvious it's a rip-off!

Seems pretty clear to me that he is saying 100 for $250. If he was in the US I would take the chance. If he only had a few coins I could see how maybe he didn't realize what the coins were really worth, but he's got too many to be ignorant.

I just thought of something... Despite his clear indication of 100 coins, maybe he really intends to sell them in lots of 10. That would be $25 per coin, which would be near melt value. Of course if I only got 10 I'd complain to ebay.
